I'll start from the beginning.
I bought 3 working thinkpad x220s on ebay for 150 euros (great deal)
I noticed that one webcam and thinklight didn't work. I remove the keyboard and notice that the connector on the motherboard was not inserted correctly, I insert it correctly, turn the PC back on and the thinklight works!!
I thought "great the webcam will also work since they are connected to the same cable" but I was wrong!
I check with the tester by placing one tip on the small connector that connects to the webcam card and the other tip on the connector that goes on the motherboard
There are no breaks on the cable! I tried the webcam on another x220 and it works.
I'm going crazy trying to find the solution to this problem.
Could it be the motherboard connector is damaged? but if it were damaged the thinklight wouldn't work either.

Hallo! Need {Win}+{R}, type devmgmt.msc and see see if there is a camera or an unidentified device there? Lenovo's Cam connects via USB and a separate line can go to the light
